I READ BECAUSE ...

I Read Because ….
(By: Richard Peck)

I read beacause one life isn’t enough,
And in the page of a book I can be anybody
I read beacause the word that builds the story become mine,
To build my life;
I read not for happy ending but for new beginning,
I’m just beginning myself and I would’nt a map;
I read beacause I have friends, who don’t,
And young though they are beginning to run out of materials;
I read beacause every journey begins
At the library, and it’s time for me to start packing;
I read beacause one of these days
I’m going to get out of this town,
And I’m going to everywhere and meet everybody,
And I want to be ready.
